eBay

I decided to put up a couple of gems from my youth on eBay.  These are items I designed and made by hand.  Studded belts, boots, jackets, etc.  I got quite good at it but eventually out grew them (literally).

Size 30" belt with 1/2" and 1/4" nickel studs

with buckle

8-eye Dr. Martens "Greasy green" with 1/4" cone style studs.  

the original DM waffle

You can view these items (until someone bids) on my eBay page here at:

I did all the photo arrangement, design of the actual items and manage the eBay page.  If you would like help with your eBay page, photos of your items or fashion accessory design, please ask!

Ingredients for hosting and relaxation...

July turned out to be busier than expected.  Some highlights were learning how to make Sake-tinis, Got a graphics gig with a capital management firm, hosting a a few cocktail barbeques: one an afternoon cocktail party where barbeque tofu and frozen skrewdrivers with mint were at the top of the menu.  Below are some photos from a trip to Pennsylvania to get some homegrown ingredients: 

Raspberries.  

Bee balm leaf.

Lettuce.

Cabbage.

Rows of green peppers.

Freshly picked camomile

Squash.

3 horses down towards the middle there.

Silo.
